The Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors, Denver Nuggets, Charlotte Hornets and Philadelphia 76ers were all part of the deal.

“We’re thrilled to have Klay join us in Dallas,” said Dallas Mavericks General Manager Nico Harrison. “As one of the league’s greatest shooters who competes on both ends, we feel Klay is a perfect fit for our team. He adds a strong, experienced veteran voice that will help us continue to build on the success we’ve seen in recent years. Klay’s championship experience, clutch performances and calm demeanor under pressure exemplify what it takes to win in the NBA at the highest level. He will help us continue to grow towards our goal of winning another championship.”
Thompson comes to the Mavs as a five-time All-Star (2015-19) and four-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022). Thompson will wear No. 31, switching from his previous number (11) with Golden State. Kyrie Irving wears No. 11 for the Mavericks.
Thompson and Irving also have played together before as members of Team USA on the 2016 Olympic team that won gold and the 2014 FIBA World Cup team.
The 34-year-old guard ranks sixth in league history in 3-point field goals made (2,481) and is just 80 3-pointers shy of passing Reggie Miller (2,560) for fifth all-time. He has made at least 100 3-pointers in each of his 11 seasons, including 200-or-more 3-pointers nine times and a career-high 301 triples in 2022-23, and was crowned the 3-point Contest champion at All-Star Weekend in 2016.
The announcement of Thompson's acquisition on Saturday came alongside Naji Marshall and Quentin Grimes. Grimes will wear No. 5 for the Mavericks, and Marshall will wear No. 13.
